Elegant serving tray from the prestigious German manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik), dating from the early years of the 20th century and bearing the famous ostrich hallmark, a historic emblem of the company. This beautiful piece in the Jugendstil style, the German equivalent of Art Nouveau, combines a silver-plated metal frame with a finely pierced gallery and delicate turned side handles. The base is made of a galalith plate, a noble and innovative material highly valued in the early 20th century. It is decorated with an elegant polychrome floral bouquet inspired by nature, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The whole perfectly illustrates the refinement of German decorative arts from the Belle Époque.
